Summary:
The 49284 zip code area is home to 3 schools - Springport Elementary School, Springport High School, and Springport Middle School - all part of the Springport Public Schools district. While the high school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating and relatively high graduation rates, the elementary and middle schools have struggled with academic performance, particularly in math and social studies, falling below state averages. Attendance is also a concern, with high chronic absenteeism rates at the elementary and high school levels.
Springport High School stands out as the strongest performer in the area, ranking 367 out of 743 Michigan high schools and earning a 3-star rating. The school has maintained this rating for the past two years and achieved a 4-year graduation rate of 82.5%. However, its SAT performance in math lags behind the state average. In contrast, Springport Middle School has shown improvement, moving from a 1-star to a 2-star rating, and outperforming the state average on the 8th grade PSAT English Language Arts assessment.
Across the schools, the student population is predominantly white, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.74% at the high school to 71.22% at the elementary school. This suggests the need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student performance and attendance, and explore ways to provide additional support and resources for these students. By addressing the identified challenges and building on the strengths, the Springport Public Schools district can work to enhance the educational experiences and outcomes for all students in the 49284 zip code area.
